What is fatty liver?

Patient's question:

Last time I had a health check, the doctor said I have mild fatty liver. I don't really understand this condition well. Is it just that there is a lot of fat in the liver? I don't usually dislike activities, and I also work very busy with no time. I don't know how serious this disease is.

Doctor's answer:

Common symptoms often manifest as fatigue, loss of appetite, right hypochondriac pain, nausea, abdominal pain, and other symptoms of liver dysfunction. Accompanied by abdominal pain, primarily right upper abdominal pain, occasionally with abdominal pain accompanied by tenderness. In severe cases, rebound tenderness and fever may occur, with elevated white blood cell counts, resembling the symptoms of acute abdominal disease, requiring timely treatment. It is necessary to establish and adhere to a proper dietary regimen, including lean meat, fish, egg white, and fresh vegetables, which contain lipid-loving substances. At the same time, it is essential to maintain a cheerful and optimistic mindset to avoid unnecessary interference with the complete recovery of fatty liver disease.
